Schwarzenegger just proposed borrowing $68 billion to spend on infrastructure. This is in addition to billions California has to borrow every year to balance the budget. I suspect that other states are doing the same. Companies are issuing tens of billions of bonds to finance stock buybacks. Who lends them all that money and why don't they demand better yields?

Is this the opposite of last year when the market fooled everyone in Q1 into thinking a consumer lead recession was on the horizon? This time we have a pump to suck the retail investor back in before the next recession with the end of fed tightening thrown into the mix to make it seem legit.
